CAENSCOPE

Overview

CAENScope is a user friendly software interface to specifically control CAEN digitizer running Waveform Recording Firmware. CAENScope allows the user to easily connect to a single board, retrieve the hardware information, manage the acquisition and data recording. In a single program frame, different parameters can be set for the channels, the trigger (e.g. external, software or channel trigger) and the traces (e.g. vertical and horizontal digital settings, and hardware settings as well). Up to 16 traces can be simultaneously plotted.

A wave recording session can be programmed even by number of events and then saved to files in a Binary (SQLite db) or Text (XML) format. It is possible to load a recorded session and have it on the display with the recording date and the trace from each enabled channel, scrolling it event by event. The user can also export and import the software settings at his convenience.

NOTE: CAENScope does not support DPP firmware.
